Terms
Mad Capital publishes no loan sizes, interest rates, fees, amortization schedules, or term lengths anywhere on its site — every deal is quoted per farm after you talk to an advisor.
The only statements about terms are qualitative: "Get clear, customized terms based on your unique operation or situation. Competitive rates and longer terms than traditional lenders"; "Flexible, interest-only loans"; "Tailor fit the payment schedule of your loan to the cash flow of your farm with INTEREST-ONLY PAYMENT OPTIONS"; and "Secure capital with QUICK TURNAROUND TIMES."
Four products are listed — Transition Loans, Operating Loans ("Long term operating loans for regenerative organic farmers"), Real Estate & Land Loans, and Equipment & Infrastructure Loans — with no published minimum or maximum on any of them, and no stated match, equity, or down-payment requirement.
Practical read for a farmer: this is a relationship lender, not a posted-rate product. Expect a conversation with an advisor before you learn your rate or how much you can borrow, and expect the interest-only structure to be the main flexibility on offer. Intake is open — the transition-loan product is marked "Now accepting new farmers."
